Source Naturals, L-Carnitine, 250 mg, 120 Capsules

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Dietary Supplement

Metabolic Energy

L-Carnitine is important for providing energy to muscles, and has been described as a "conditionally essential" nutrient for humans. 95% of all carnitine stores in the body are found in muscle tissue. It carries fatty acids into the mitochondria of each cell, where they are metabolized to produce ATP, the body's prime energy fuel.

My Doctor advised me to take this product for the heart. Source Naturals is a good product and a good price.
I-Herbs is a good place to order from and has good prices. They ship the products quickly also which I like.

L-carnitine does work but this time around the recommended doses didn't fit my schedule. I think you should take it before working out but it says with meals. I would prefer to take it so I could burn fat since the first minute I start working out and have more energy. Taking this with meals doesn't really make sense to me based on the characteristics of L-Carnitine.
I will probably buy it again, but I will wait and try other products.
If you are starting taking supplements this is a good start, but make sure your meals are near your working out schedules so you will make the most out of this product.
